So it's actually the heat(whether it's from a dryer or the sun) that kills the mold, not the bleach. Bleach will kill other germs but it does not kill mold.

I agree with you Cari I had a water heater burst & didn't discover it for a few days. I googled info on cleaning & one of the Universities had info that included Borax & hanging out on the sun or laying on clean grass. I did that & 90% of the quilt fabric came out great.
